When I was in college, my late night weekend dinners with the roommates always consisted of pizza and ranch dressing. Now, I look back and think how gross that was. Wow! I’ve come a VERY long way from those eats days.

Breaking up with ranch and other fatty dressing was probably the best thing I ever did for my weight loss and overall health. Folks often start off making a healthy choice of a salad then it goes all wrong with the dressing.

That’s where the majority of the fat and calories are. Top the salad with a boatload of cheese, croutons and something fried and you would be better off eating a hamburger and fries.

No joke, salad dressings are probably the worse choices you can make. While I don’t really don’t do salad dressings often (I love my EVVO, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice concoction), I’ve been trying to sneak more protein in my diet. One way I do that?

With Greek yogurt ranch dressing! Greek yogurt is high in protein! And, before you say but I can’t do dairy, remember Greek yogurt is highly strained and has minimal lactose. While I can’t consume much dairy {hello serious stomach cramps}, I can consume Greek yogurt. So, before you knock it give it try!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt I used Fage
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp water to thin the dressing, or substitute milk for a creamy texture
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup dill fresh, chopped or 1/2 tsp of dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Process on high until smooth. 

  2. Test the dressing and adjust as needed. You may need to add a little more water if you like your dressings thinner, or more lemon juice for a tarter flavor, more seasonings, etc. This was the combo I liked best!

  3. Once complete, transfer to a mason jar and place in the refrigerator to set 30 minutes. The flavors will combine more in the refrigerator together!
